>>2110560To be fair, there are absolute retards in every aspect of life no matter where you /out. However, being born and raised traipsing around Rainier and the Cascades in general in the 80's and 90's, you have to be an absolute brainlette to not see that paying for what was once free is utter fucking nonsense. You are the type of person who votes against his own self interest, because the notion of paying for your permit (aka permission) to virtue signal to your bros is some kind of self fulfilling dick stroke to you. I bet you go outdoors and don't even enjoy it because you're too busy gear fagging on everyone like you're better than them at life or some dumb brainlette shit.
Search and Rescue is there for a reason, like the police and the fire dept. All of that is tax payer funded and we have it, because we're not living Uganda and have standards. What is funny is that you equate paying for a permit (to use what was once free) to skill level. How absurd.
